One Minute

He pulled her back. Stopped her right on her tracks...literally. In the middle of a bustling city. She had been talking at a million words a heartbeat and this abrupt stop took her by surprise. "One minute" He said calmly. "What?" She shrieked. Where was he going with this madness. They were already late. In fact she would be shocked if they found anything when they reached. "Stand with me here for one minute." She was flustered to say the least. She was agitated and that was putting it mildly. He held her hands. Something in his eyes told her to calm down. Be still. She stood with him in the middle of the street. While the world bustled and hustled around them. Silently. Suddenly all she could hear was his heartbeat. All she could see was the depth of his eyes. All she could feel was the palm of his hands. As that one minute stretched into the rest of their lives, she was sure.... that this was the day she would say she fell in love.
